She requested that all families that lost their relatives be accorded the same financial assistance than when government carries out selective assistance.
Meanwhile, the shadow internal affairs minister Muwanga Kivumbi suggested that the issue of killings should be entirely investigated country wide since these have also been seen in other parts of the country including Wakiso, Teso, Northern Uganda among other places and the method of killing has always been the same.
